It's amazing how far people will argue in order to rationalize their debadging. Again, no matter the reason, you either will look trendy to some or a poser to others. But you shouldn't have to rationalize this because it doesn't matter just remove your badges and call it a day. I just hope they continue putting them on my car.

I'll call it a day on debadging, but unfortunately, you sparked a thought: What if BMW stopped putting badges on their cars? Would people buy aftermarket badges to show off that they have a bigger engine or xDrive? If that's the case maybe they could then get badges for major options like some people do with their signatures here at the Fest. Anyone with Photoshop & an hour to spare want to create that trunk lip?
